The burden of diabetes in Argentina

OBJECTIVE: To measure the economic burden of diabetes in Argentina by age, gender and region for the year 2005, in disability-adjusted life years (DALYs).METHODS: DALYs were estimated by the sum of years of life lost due to premature death (YLL) and years of life lived with disability (YLD).RESULTS:...

description OBJECTIVE: To measure the economic burden of diabetes in Argentina by age, gender and region for the year 2005, in disability-adjusted life years (DALYs).METHODS: DALYs were estimated by the sum of years of life lost due to premature death (YLL) and years of life lived with disability (YLD).RESULTS: In the population studied (20 to 85 years), the burden of diabetes without complications was 1.3 million DALYs, 85% of which were caused by disabilities. Whereas mortality rates (YLL) increased as a function of age, YLD showed the opposite relationship. Women had higher burden of disease values, represented by 51 and 61% of YLL and YLD, respectively, independently of age.CONCLUSIONS: Our results demonstrate that disabilities are a key component of diabetes burden; its regular and systematic estimation would allow to design effective prevention strategies, to assess the impact of their implementation and to optimize resource allocation based on objective evidence.
